Why North Korea is so friggin AWESOME!

[Spiderman]

Here is why North Korea is the embodiment of everything virtuous you could ask for in a Government:

"Pornography is illegal.
Viewing or Selling Pornography can lead to the death penalty.
In 2013, Leader Kim Jong-Un had his Ex-Girlfriend executed in front of her family for making a sex tape.

Why do you think pornography is illegal in a country that isn't Religious?

Citizens are forbidden to watch anything other than state propaganda.
In the last 2 years, North Korea has publicly executed around 130 people for watching South Korean TV.

All music in North Korea is controlled by the state and must glorify the regime.
Decadent Western Music is a ‘Crime against the State’ and playing it will get you killed

The Government tortures and humiliates people for having faith. In 2013, Eighty Christians were publicly executed in a stadium just for owning bibles.

Citizens are banned from freely moving around their country – There is less than 1 car per 1000 people
However, Senior Officials are chauffeured in extravagant cars to flaunt their political commitment.

Communication with the outside world will incur the Death Penalty.
In 2013, a North Korean man was publicly executed by firing squad for calling his friend in South Korea.

Citizens caught criticizing or discussing the North Korean Government will be sent to ‘Re-Education Camps’.
Prisoners will endure hard labor and ideological indoctrination to relearn the values of the regime.

The Ultimate Crime is for a North Korean to leave their Country.
Defectors flee to China for Refuge but if they are caught by authorities they ll be forcibly returned for execution.

Jeans are illegal. Blue jeans are not allowed in North Korea as denims symbolizes the enemy United States of America.
there are no traffic lights, only 28 hair styles allowed"
11 Everyday Activities That Are Illegal In North Korea. You Can't Use Internet Too! OMG!

There are also cities where two thirds of the people are starving to death. So, How do I become a citizen of North Korea? It sounds like truly a foretaste of paradise! Can't wait to move there!

I personally think North Korea is hell on earth.

 

[psychoslice]

The sad thing is that these people of North Korea don't realize they are programmed the way they are, they were born into a world of idiocy and never knew it, they know nothing of the world around them, I do feel sorry for them, but at the same time they are in their conditioning very dangerous, and of course we need to fight for peace, for how can we all live in peace when we have such people in the world ?.

Juche is the state religion.

1000 cars per 1 person in
the real.

28 different hair styles seems like a lot of muslim's. True.
Do they have a sporting goods store?

 

[meghanwaterlillies]

No body actually owns the bible I mean like OWNS. Right?

 

[Flankerl]

CTV reported as fake.

You should read your source before you post it.

He wrote that only specific hair cuts are allowed. Which is true, just watch "Under the Sun".
Your article says that no one is forced to get a hair cut like Kim Jong Un.

No body actually owns the bible I mean like OWNS. Right?

???
The bible is banned. So who knows if some people actually own one. Probably not many since there was no Christian community when the Communists took over.

 

[The Kilted Heathen]

All of those sound absolutely atrocious. I would never fathom describing them as "friggin' awesome".

It is likely highly sarcastic. His wording gives it away, really.

I think that North Korea is a perfect example of when you apply enough fear you can get average people to do whatever you want. After awhile of such tyranny they might even show signs of liking the situation as the insane become the norm.

Ah, yes could be. I am super brain-dead from yesterday lol

If it's illegal for a North Korean to call someone in South Korea, then how do they manage to do it? Wouldn't the calls be blocked and the phone system tightly controlled?

What about Cuba or China or other countries regarded as allies of North Korea? Can't they call those countries?

You're assuming the North Korean government even has the technological infrastructure to block phone calls.

North Korea has no real allies.

I've always had somewhat mixed feelings about North Korea. The fate of the Korean Peninsula was decided by the US, Britain, and USSR, and they divided the country, just like with East and West Germany. But unlike the aggressive belligerent Germany, Korea was a victim of long-term Japanese occupation. The Japanese and Russians fought over Korea back in 1905, and even though the Japanese won, they still felt they got screwed by the terms of the Treaty of Portsmouth. In any case, Korea was even more screwed as they fell under Japanese hegemony and occupation.

It was a curious decision on the part of the Allies to divide Korea up like that, especially since there was no practical reason for it, from the West's point of view. There was no reason to consider Korea to be an aggressor nation, so it should have only been a matter of kicking the Japanese out and letting them have immediate independence. We did that with all the other occupied nations; why not Korea?

I just think it's important to remember how this whole Korean situation got started in the first place. It's easy to sit back and make fun of them, but what's happening over there is not entirely their own doing. They've been used as pawns by both East and West, and so the "pawns" have gotten a bit crazy.

On the other hand, they could try to make things easier on themselves. They're not entirely isolated, and they could turn to former allies like China and Russia for economic assistance. They wouldn't be giving in to America or the West if they did that, but at least they might improve their standard of living somewhat. Their leadership seems overly stubborn and prideful to the point of reckless self-destruction. I've never been to North Korea, so I don't know exactly what it's like there, other than what I've read and heard from various sources.

From some descriptions I've heard, it reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode, "It's a Good Life." (It's a Good Life)

Bill Mumy plays a six-year-old kid who has virtually unlimited psychic powers and can get rid of anyone who displeases him. He can even read people's thoughts, so unless they think only good thoughts and say only good things, then they are done away with by being sent to the "cornfield."

How much technology does it require to cut a telephone wire?

North Korea has no real allies.

China would probably come closest, although they also have diplomatic relations with other countries. Maybe not allies, but not exactly enemies either.

 

[Spiderman]

Bibles are sold illegally like they are meth or crack. Bibles are smuggled in from China and people are killed when caught. Some people want to die for their faith.

 

[Shiranui117]

Mobile or satellite phones? Those get smuggled into North Korea. That's what most people use to make outside calls.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. After reading a bit more on this, I found that there are a few select areas and numbers that have international dialing access, and some communication is allowed with Russia and China for trade purposes. Apparently, they get cellphones smuggled in from China, but it seems they only work if one is close to the Chinese border. (https://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-make-a-phone-call-to-North-Korea)
